The title tune from probably my favorite 'music movie' (though A Hard Day's Night and The Girl Can't Help It are close).  I watch this movie, and I'm right there, I remember when it was like this.

Here's one from one of my all-time favorite music movies.  Enjoy:



Bill, tgo

Joey and Bill; both of those were great movies.

The Commitments, I remember hardly understanding the dialog in the movie but LOVED the music.
I was in a band that covered their version of Take Me To The River.
I was also in another band that did the Talking Heads version . . . 

Bill is amazing. I used to seem him weekly at the 1369 Club in Inman Square, Cambridge in the early 80s. He'd play every Saturday afternoon and get pretty soundly ignored except by an enraptured few. He's a national treasure.

And for anyone who lives in Colorado, his teacher, Dale Bruning still teaches. Dale is also amazing. He was Dizzy's guitarist for a while and is a master in the vein of Jim Hall. Bill and Dale's duet double album is a must have, complete with Gary Larson cover.

Some very interesting solo double-bass... and a five-string at that. 

Peter

Thanks, Peter; hadn't seen that before.

Greg and Peter, both very nice!   Extremely talented people!

Here's something a little different...

Arian Ortiz Trio

I recall back in middle school going to the public library and checking this out - and it had a massive impact on me:
John Lennon - Rock 'n' Roll

Haven't listened to it in a long time - it really does Rock!

Then Led Zepplin - Physical Graffitti

Is that an 8-string Alembic in Houses of the Holy?


Finished with Pink Floyd  - Wish You Were Here

In Loving memory of our dear Jaco - 16 years and 4 months of true love.

Good stuff Rob.    l like to tell people, playing an upright bass is a very physical act!

Sorry to hear about the Pup there Paul. I swore off pets after the last one... just too painful letting go.    "Wish You Were Here" indeed.

I've been listening to my Cousin's son Andy's most recent project... it isn't really my thing, but the kid is making a living playing music, and I'm proud of him. 

Love it, Greg!  About the time I get off work today, She'll be at a bridal shower; my plan is to listen to everything Andy has on YT!

Andy's an interesting kid... one thing we have in common - he didn't really take an interest in playing until his late-teens, but it just kinda' consumed us both at that age. Andy's Dad (who is actually my 2nd cousin) and I get together for some music a couple times a year. Very different backgrounds but that really adds to the experience.   I was just down there last weekend, but Andy had a gig a couple hours away and couldn't make it back for the jam at Graham's place, but left me a copy of the cd. 

(this is the 'Cousin Graham' with the vintage Gibson stash btw...) 

And on the subject of c...

Peter

Now I've got to forward that to a few people!
